Rich DeSelm on The Morning Swim Show

Dec. 17, 2012: North Carolina swimming head coach Rich DeSelm joins today's edition of The Morning Swim Show after what he calls a successful mid-season meet in Ohio. DeSelm was pleased with the performance of his Tar Heels at the Columbus Invite a few weeks ago, especially since they were not at full tapers. The swimmer of note was Stephanie Peacock, who managed to break her own NCAA record in the 1650 freestyle. DeSelm talks about how he believed Peacock was going to have a great mile after her fast 500 freestyle, and whether they use Katie Ledecky’s recent mile swim as a bar to reach. He also discusses the upcoming winter training plans and how his philosophy about holiday training factors into getting ready for the championship season.
